Synagogue

Before the consecration of the synagogue in Promenadenstraße (today Synagogenplatz) in 1862 the Jewish community in Aachen used other prayer houses. The location of the first synagogue is not known. The second synagogue was located in Hirschgraben and was used until the consecration of the new synagogue. The construction of the synagogue in Promenadenstraße was necessary in view of the growth of the community.

Cult objects have been brought to Rotenburg / Fulda and destroyed there November 1938.

In November 1937, the building came through the sale of the last living of the three owners - Hermann Schwerin - into the possession of a non-Jewish family, who had it converted into an apartment and cobbler workshop. 
In 1985, the building was listed as a historical monument. It is used as a residential building to the present day.

After 1945, the building was used for housing refugee families. After that, the building was a warehouse of Raiffeisenbank. Until the end of the 1950s, it remained essentially structurally unchanged. Only then the former synagogue was structurally heavily modified by the Raiffeisenbank and externally made unrecognizable as a former place of worship . Currently (2008) in the building is a branch of Waldecker Bank, Korbach.
